Using JodaTime in project for AustraliaWell yeah I do (I think). If the DateTime objects are taking a long time to create because of a large timezone database sitting behind them, surely the fix is to somehow reduce that database down to only the timezones I want to deal with. I can't figure out if I need to "filter" out the non-required timezones inside the JodaTime library or in the application itself. It seems the Eclipse/Android environment is way more difficult to deal with then the .NET one and documentation seems way too sparse. I would be totally lost if it wasn't for the assistance from guys like yourself. Thanks so much.

Using JodaTime in project for AustraliaOk. That looks like what I want to do. But exactly where is that code to go. Is it code that needs to go into a JodaTime library or my app? If in the app, where in relation to the creation of a DateTime object?

Using JodaTime in project for AustraliaJon I noticed in another post you talked about building JodaTime using "with a very much reduced time zone database". Can you please tell me how to do this? Do I remove files from the main\java\org\joda\time\tz\src folder leaving just the australasia file and editing the etc file down to just UTC records or something? Is there any trick to compiling JodaTime? Remember I'm and Android infant..:) Thanks

Using JodaTime in project for AustraliaSorry. Previous comment is incorrect. It was returning all the TimeZones (100s of them). I have not come across a Set before and was handling it incorrectly. I have things working now apart from the creation of a DateTime object taking so long. All I need to do now is figure out how to modify the provider to handle only Australian and UTC timezones and everything will be fine.

Using JodaTime in project for AustraliaIt is version 2.0. It was downloaded directly from the SourgeForge website. It was just the "standard" distribution ZIP file listed there. I see there is now version 2.1. I will download it and see if there is any difference.
